Chapter 470
"Mr. Ge, this was sent out by the insiders with all their might." Cao Huachun held the letter to Wen Tiren with both hands.
"Oh! What a letter, it's worth coming to my house in the middle of the night." Wen Tiren took the letter in confusion and slowly opened the envelope.
"A letter written by Li Xiao to Ma Shiying." Cao Huachunyin said with a smile, and Wen Tiren opened the envelope twice as fast.
He glanced at the letter, especially the signature and seal at the end of the letter. Veins popped up on Wen Tiren's head immediately. In order to get people to work, he tolerated Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng to the extreme.
He can tolerate them preying on the common people, he can tolerate them being corrupt and bending the law, and he can even tolerate them forming gangs. But what he absolutely cannot tolerate is defection!
I have already achieved this step, why can't I follow my lead and try to conquer the river? In the future, no one will be short of wealth. Why can't I just follow my own heart? Is it possible that Li Xiao can still allow you to prey on the common people?
Will Li Xiao still tolerate your corruption and perversion of the law?
Angry heart, trembling hands! Wen Tiren was extremely angry, and the intangible joy and anger he had cultivated for many years disappeared at this moment.
"Mr. Ge!" Seeing Wen Tiren's hands trembling with anger, Cao Huachun quickly expressed his concern.
"I'm fine!" Wen Tiren took a deep breath and calmed down his uneasy heart.
"Look at this...!"
"Ma Shiying has three thousand guards under his command. They have always been the best-equipped army in Jinling City. If you want to deal with them, you have to mobilize the elite. You must gather the men immediately and let's go out of the city to the 13th Division of the Nanjing Forbidden Army."
Ma Shiying had his subordinates in the army, and Wen Tiren also had his own capable generals in the army. After Shi Kefa's incident, a large-scale purge was carried out on the Nanjing Forbidden Army. Fifteen of the sixteen division commanders were transferred, and the only one who was not removed was
The transferred division was Wen Tao, commander of the 13th Division.
And this teacher Wen Taowen was Wen Tiren's distant cousin.
Ma Shiying's guards were kings and hegemons in Jinling City, but they dared not disrespect Wen Tiren precisely because of the existence of the Thirteenth Division. Because the Thirteenth Division was not only the best-equipped division in the Nanjing Forbidden Army, but also the largest one.
division.
Other divisions have only three regiments, and the Thirteenth Division has five regiments. Other divisions have only three battalions per regiment, and the Thirteenth Division has five battalions per regiment.
Moreover, the company squads under the battalion are also in the fifth-five formation. In addition, there is an independent artillery regiment directly under the division, and the combat effectiveness of the 13th Division is comparable to that of the two divisions.
Having such a huge armed force in his hands was the basis of Wen Tiren's rule. Even in a city as important as Yangzhou, Wen Tiren was not willing to send out the Thirteenth Division.
Now that something happened, Wen Tiren's first thought was to go to the Thirteenth Division.
You can't hide things like stealing letters for a long time. Once Ma Shiying finds out, he will definitely jump into a panic. If Ma Shiying wants to control Jinling City, the first thing he needs to do is to kill himself.
Just after walking out of the house, Wen Tiren turned back and whispered to Cao Huachun: "You can't catch Ma Shiying yet, but you can catch Ruan Dacheng. I would like to see what kind of heart he has to betray the imperial court."
"Ruan Dacheng also has servants. If there is resistance...!" After all, he was an important official in the imperial court, so Cao Huachun still had to ask for instructions.
"Kill without mercy! Ruan Dacheng will try his best to live, I want him to die a good death." Wen Tiren was itching with hatred, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.
"No!" Cao Huachun agreed and immediately ordered people to do it. It was almost impossible for him to capture Ma Shiying, but there was no problem in capturing Ruan Dacheng. If the Xiaoling Guard couldn't even deal with the servants in Ruan Dacheng's family, then there would be no need to exist.
As soon as I reached the city gate, I saw a large group of people mobilizing on the street from a distance.
"Open the city gate!" Wen Tiren's guard captain shouted.
"Who is it?" someone shouted from the top of the city.
"Wen Ge is leaving the city." The guard captain held a torch and illuminated his face. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, as Wen Tiren's guard captain, his face was equivalent to a pass.
For some reason, Wen Tiren's heart suddenly trembled. His body instinctively leaned back!
"It turns out to be Mr. Wen Ge, my subordinates will open the city gate right now." He shouted from the top of the city. The guard captain was feeling proud when a few sparks suddenly flashed on the top of the city.
When the guard captain heard the gunfire, his body had already begun to bleed. There were seven or eight bloody holes all over his body, and the people around him fell to pieces.
A bullet hit Wen Tiren right in front of his toes, and Wen Tiren seemed to be able to feel the burning heat of the bullet through the soil. The personal guard took advantage of the moment when the gun was being changed on the city tower, and pulled Wen Tiren under the city wall.
At this time, if you run further away, you will become a living target. Only by running under the base of the city wall can you escape by taking advantage of the shooting angle.
A few brave guys leaned out and wanted to attack the people at the base of the city wall. As a result, they were shot down like bullets from below, and their bodies fell to the ground with a "bang" and "bang" sound.
"Take a grenade and blow open the door bolt." The guards shouted anxiously.
Immediately someone ran over and pulled the string of the grenade and hung it on the door bolt.
"Boom!" Wen Tiren felt hot air waves spraying on his face, and he could even feel sand and gravel hitting his body.
One grenade did not work, and the second grenade was hung up. Someone was already running down the horse path, but was shot back by the guards' volley of guns.
Jinling City is worthy of being the former capital of the country. The city defense is very good. It took six grenades to hang a door bolt before it was blown down. Eight guards worked hard to open the heavy city gate. The door shaft made a "squeak" sound that made people laugh.
The sound of teeth grinding is as if no oil has been poured on them for many years.
"Mr. Ge, the door is open, let's go quickly!" The personal guard only protected Wen Tiren, and the two men picked him up and ran away.
It was cloudy today, and there was not even a trace of moonlight. But the few people who had just gone out were beaten to death by random guns on the city wall.
Taking advantage of the time when guns were being exchanged on the city wall, the guards carried Wen Tiren and got into the darkness.
There was a roar on the city wall, but unfortunately no one was there, so he could only fire randomly into the darkness. Wen Tiren felt as if bullets were flying all around, and one or two screams could be heard from time to time in the darkness.
Wen Tiren's back felt chilly, and his feet were deep and shallow. His heavy breathing sounded like a bellows, and the "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds were frighteningly loud.
What made Wen Ziren even more horrified was that there was the sound of horse hooves behind him.
The south does not produce war horses, so there is no cavalry. But Ma Shiying spent his own money to buy horses and raised a cavalry company. This is the only one in Jinling City, and there is no other semicolon!
The screams behind him became more frequent and closer. Wen Tiren's heart felt cold. He didn't expect Ma Shiying to strike so quickly. He wanted to kill himself without giving him any way to survive.
The guards took out their revolvers and fired at the cavalry who were close at hand. In the panic, six bullets were shot out quickly. They did not have time to change bullets, so they were shot by the cavalry who saw the muzzle flash.
Brilliant orange sparks exploded from time to time in the darkness, accompanied by the last wails of the guards. The two hundred guards who followed Wen Tiren had been killed to pieces. Only the two guys who were holding Wen Tiren were still there.
Run hard.
The main camp of the Thirteenth Division is three miles outside the city. As long as you cross these three miles, you will have something in your life.
The sound of the cavalry's hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, and the three people's hearts were in their throats. They saw the darkness in front of them, and two watermelon-sized wind lanterns were swaying in the darkness.
"Thirteenth Division Station, who is in front of you? Stop!" Someone suddenly shouted in the darkness.
"Ma Shiying rebelled, and Mr. Wen Ge was being hunted. Come and protect Mr. Wen Ge!"
The person coming from the opposite side was obviously stunned, but soon the guards heard the sound of guns clashing. Without saying a word, the guards pushed Wen Tiren to the ground.
